Oh wow - that is not the record low, but is still pretty low. Today's trade, someone picked up a fat 6000 shares for $6, or $0.001 per share.

Unbelievable...

CW,

I'm a little surprised. I woulda thought that a "junior" miners fund would include such "microcaps".

Are there any funds that do?

Regards,
Fred M. cain

Fred - this company's shares are not included in that ETF. That ETF has various criteria for the components/holdings. Among these are minimum share trading volume requirements that OSTO does not even begin to get close to. The ETF provider has to use stocks that have a certain amount of liquidity so that they can meet redemption requirements without pushing the value of the underlying shares down substantially.

I do not see any ETFs, ETPs, or mutual funds that currently hold any shares of the mine.

Perhaps Blair Hull could buy it in his own ETF? He owns enough shares to be a market maker. (I am just kidding, as his ETF does not invest in individual stocks)

Here’s a stock-related question: About a year and a half ago, I bought some shares of a so-called “ETF” (exchange traded mutual fund) known as Van Eck “Junior Gold Miners”

Now for the question: Is the Original Sixteen To One (OSTO) included in this ETF’s portfolio? And, if not, why not and can we do anything about that?

Fred M. Cain

The stock wizard that ordered the sale of those 10,000 for ten cents a share lost $2,125. Check the bids on the STOCK topic. No comment!

I noticed the other day a block trade, which was the only trade that day, I think 3 days ago - 10,000 shares at 0.10

I have no information, this is just an FYI.

Mike,
I have sent an E-Mail to the corporate office before the Brexit Vote with three bids to buy 5.000 shares each at purchase prices of 0.15, 0.20 and 0.25 $.
Could you have these offers posted on the company website please? Thank you.

Gerald,

Every year about this time we mail the annual report to shareholders. Every year my mind searches for the clearest words to report the past year’s activities and report on some intentions for the coming year. Below is one paragraph from the annual message:

“Here is what good gold analysts write: message to gold share investors. Look for companies in which the management team has a significant stake. Look for companies that are taking concrete steps towards building a mine. And ignore the ones that keep issuing paper, particularly when markets are weak; another message for the mining companies. If there is any potential for near-term production, start producing. Forget all the other stuff. And, for goodness sake, ignore the bloke with the white teeth. Original Sixteen to One Mine, Inc. fits this analysis.”

Shareholders of record or all those that sent us their address will have the report this week or early next week, depending on postal service to your locale. There are three colored photographs on the back page, all relevant and historical. The last one entitled: A GOLD POUR—steps of the Pacific Stock Exchange—SAN FRANCISCO. During the coming year promotion of our Company will have a modest budget of time and money. I agree with all of you regarding the public exchange of Sixteen to One ownership. It makes little sense.

I have a long standing knowledge of the gold junior market, also called “penny gold stocks”. In the Form 10-k filed with the S&EC Washington D.C. there is ITEM 5, which informs the public (and shareholders). “Management believes that the assets of the Company are understated due to the age of acquisitions. No value is recorded on the balance sheet for timber. No value is recorded on the balance sheet for the Company owned water rights. Reduced value is recorded on the balance sheet for buildings, equipment and land. Fixed assets ate recorded at historic cost less depreciation.”

Unlike most of the remaining junior gold companies, our Company does not capitalize exploration work. This is most important for anyone considering taking a position in a gold mining company. I read outlandish dollar numbers for assets on most balance sheets. Who are these presidents officers and board members fooling? Many is one answer.

Gerald, Bluejay, jnjennings, Hans and cw3343 let’s work to change some of this obvious foolishness regarding the Sixteen to One share pricing. One hundred shares as a buyer or seller is uneconomical at penny prices especially for sellers. Last year the high was $0.56 and the low was $0.44 on our website. Promotion is in our future.

I'm willing to buy more shares at below asset value. Letting the shares trade so low on the Pink Sheets is just foolish. Show me some real size.

Mike,

for tansactions below 500.00 US-Dollars both transaction fees for buyer and seller of 75,00 US-Dollars each are to be born by the buyer in deals that are brokered via the company.

In Gerald's case you would have to pay a fee of 1.50 US-Dollars per share on top of the 0.20 US-Dollars per share that you are paying to Gerald.

Should that fee-policy not be reviewed?

I remember talking with your grandfather years ago about gold and gold mining. I'm curious regarding your good till cancelled order for 100 shares at $0.10. Your gross will be ten dollars. will that cover the commission? What is the commission charged to a buyer? What is your desire regarding these 100 shares? I can pay $10 as others can also. Get the share certificate from Fidelity and I will double your asking price. You can call or write me (530) 287-3223

I have prepared three bids to buy OSTO-stock together with a friend of mine at prices between 0.08 and 0.10 US $ per share and have sent these three bids to the Corporate adress.. They are good for one year.

as far as I know the OTC market is rather intransparent because nobody has a complete overview of all active bids as long as there is no "market-maker" for a certain stock.

There seems to be some sort of a nation-wide bid-notification system, but being no stock-broker, I do not know anything about the details of this notification system and how well it works in life-trading. From your experience it seems, that it doesn´t work very well.

However, the buyers´ and sellers´ lists on the company´s website are easy to look at. And anybody, who is thinking about buying or selling stock will look there first.

I think, I will give it a try and see what happens.

Hans, I know some facts about the stock you posted below. April 4, 2016, I received a call regarding 5000 shares belonging to a man I knew. He died in November and his executor wanted to close the estate. He suggested I put a low bid and see what happens. I did at $0.05 a share. Someone paid three cents when a five cent offer was on the table. Who gained? Who lost? Who or How as this decision made?

People tell me that they have placed buy orders at prices higher than the one executed. They wonder, “how does this happen?” I just had this experience and don’t have an explanation.

Yes, anyone can place a buy order on our STOCK page at any price. A seller makes the decision. The Company is like an escrow holder. The stock market takes second place to the need of mining. We are successfully moving forward towards debt elimination and increased gold production. When our financial issues are satisfied, I will institute a program towards increasing the awareness ot this great little company.
